Some health insurers, like Humana, have pulled out of the 2018 marketplace. This means it will not offer health coverage through the ACA. It was the first major insurer to take this action and experts predict others will follow suit.

Republicans favor a system where people can choose and pay for the kind of coverage they want, rather than requiring everyone to purchase insurance like the ACA currently mandates. The future healthcare replacement is being hailed as “universal access” rather than “universal coverage” as its predecessor was called.

At a recent press conference, White House press secretary Sean Spicer “left the door open” for President Trump to roll out his “own plan” with or without the GOP. (Translation: the POTUS will either have the support of his party or he won’t...this could get interesting.)

Unclear as it be may seem, you can rest easy for the next 10 months because most things will stay the same — for now. The ACA, as we know it though, has numbered days indeed. We don’t know when the timer on this bomb will go off, but we’ll be sure you’re the first to know when we do.
